Swan Hellenic expands UK reservations team with two appointments

Swan Hellenic has expanded its UK and Europe reservations team with two appointments.

Joanna Hili and Katrin Roberts have joined from Silversea Cruises as reservations manager and reservations consultant for the region, respectively.

Hili has worked in luxury travel and sales for 10 years and led a team of 17 in her most recent role at Silversea.

Roberts has eight years of experience in the luxury cruise sector.

Mario Bounas, Swan Hellenic UK & Ireland general manager, said: “We’ve been on a journey relaunching Swan Hellenic and establishing ourselves as leaders in expedition cruising.

“Our growth is down to the hard work of our fantastic and ever-growing team, as well as the incredible support our travel partners across the UK have shown us.

“We are truly thankful and look forward to continuing to grow the business in the UK together.”

He added that the expedition cruise line had made “remarkable achievements” over the last year, including a 264% year-on-year increase in passenger numbers and a 410% rise in revenue.

Bounas explained: “These figures reflect the growing demand for the unique experiences Swan Hellenic offers and the dedication of our team in delivering exceptional service.

“The expansion of our UK team is a direct result of this success, ensuring we continue to provide the highest standards of support to our valued partners and customers.”
